Telemetry in, DTCO realism out
The overlay reads speed and vehicle state from the ETS2 telemetry server, then runs DTCO‑style timing logic to display driving/break states, record events, and generate printouts.
ETS2 Telemetry Server
A small local server exposes game data (speed, heading, position when available). The overlay connects to it at:
http://127.0.0.1:25555/api/ets2/telemetry
State + timers
The overlay polls telemetry and decides the current DTCO state: DRIVING, BREAK, REST or WORK.
- Driving triggers above a speed threshold
- Break arms only after a realistic stop delay
- Optional EU break enforcement (4h30 → 45m, split 15+30)
Events + printouts
Overspeed, infringements and DVSA checks can be recorded. Printouts are saved locally for proof.
Activation happens inside the overlay
When the overlay runs, it shows your activation details in the built‑in activation popup. You can open it any time with F8. Use that information when opening a support ticket.
Optional: live fleet dashboard
If you’re a VTC owner, DTCO LIVE can be enabled for your devices. When enabled and ACTIVE, the overlay can send live pings (speed/state and optional location/heading) to the DTCO LIVE website for fleet visibility.

We’ll build a proper step guide with cards + images (install → start telemetry → run overlay → insert card → printouts). Send your screenshots when ready.
